Special American Business Internship Training Program (SABIT)

AGENCY: International Trade Administration, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    This Notice supplements the Federal Register Notice Docket No. 
940529-4129 (59 FR 25889, May 18, 1994) announcing the availability of 
funds for the Special American Business Internship Training Program 
(SABIT), for training business executives and scientists (also referred 
to as ``interns'') from the Newly Independent States (NIS) of the 
former Soviet Union. All information in the previous announcement 
remains current, except for the changes explained herein. This Notice 
extends the closing date of the referenced Federal Register Notice for 
three months to 5 p.m. December 15, 1994 and announces the availability 
of additional funds. The maximum amount of financial assistance 
available for the program is $3,675,000. This amount includes the 
$2,400,000 which was previously announced. All awards are expected to 
be made prior to January 1, 1996. The referenced announcement placed a 
cap of $7,500 per intern for airfare and stipend. This notice 
establishes the right of ITA to allow an award to exceed this amount in 
cases of unusually high costs, such as airfare from remote regions of 
the NIS.
    For further information refer to the Notice published in the 
Federal Register on May 18, 1994 (59 FR 25889) or contact: Liesel 
Duhon, Acting Director, Special American Business Internship Training 
Program, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, phone [phone], facsimile [phone]. These are not 
toll free numbers.
